Molly, my sweet girl what a blessing your were to my life. I loved you at first sight, this adorable tiny furry bundle of joy covering me with little puppy kisses. You were so sweet and loving, never leaving my side, always ready to run and play with your ball or your endless stash of toys, you were so brave, remember how you stood guard alerting me when you found the scorpion in our house. You always protected us, always watched out the window for us to come home and greeted us with so much love when we walked in the door. I didn't know you had bone cancer until the end, you never let on that you were in pain. I held you in my arms, you were so brave and so calm, I guess you knew it was time for your journey to the bridge. I know you are happy and young again playing with your fur angel friends so that gives me comfort. Thank you sweet girl for your endless love and devotion. Run and play now, till I see you again. xoxo, momma

08/12/10 "Happy Birthday" my sweet girl, you would be 14 today. I miss you so very much, remember your birthday pancakes and your special birthday cupcakes? I'm sure your new angel friends are showering you with birthday kisses and goodies, and I bet you have a new ball to play with. It has been almost 7 months since you left us and the house and my heart are so very empty. I smile though when I think about the little paths you made in the backyard and the way you would bark under your breath whenever you saw someone on your sidewalk, and nuzzle up to me. So many happy memories but still so much emptiness here. Do you like the watercolor painting on your memorial marker? My high school friend Julie painted it for me from photographs of you. She captured you completely, especially your beautiful eyes. I have it near my bed along with the mold of your paw print. She's going to paint another one for jt as well. Well, I need to take Grandpa to the doctor now, so run and play sweet girl with all of your friends, and send some nuzzles down to me, I need them so very much today. Till I see you again sweet girl. xoxo, momma

08/13/10 Good morning my sweet girl, I hope you had a wonderful birthday yesterday. We were all thinking about you, remembering what a wonderful girl you were. Eli is starting to talk now, remember how he would drop his cheerios on the floor for you, and how you would stand on your hind legs next to him and look out the window? I remember each and every thing, every nuzzle, every bath, every kiss,oh and the time you caught the lizard outside, you came in the house with this strange look on your face, then it flew out of your mouth and ran across the kitchen floor, that would have been a great one for America's funniest videos. Oh "Miss Molly Malone Lady of Cork" how very much I miss you. Have fun today sweet girl. Till I see you again, xoxo, momma

08/15/10 Hello sweet girl, how are you today? I bet you've been busy playing with your friends all day. I miss you so very much, I still cry for you. I know you are happy and that makes me smile, I cry for myself because of the emptiness in my life with you being gone. I long for the day I will see you again. Kisses to you sweet girl, momma

08/17/10 Good morning sweet girl, how are you this morning. Your was mentioned in the candlelight service last night, so many people are grieving like I am. I close my eyes and try to imagine the beauty of your new home, I know you are so very happy, you no longer have the pain throughout your body, and you have so many friends to play with, you can nap by the cool stream, you can gaze upon us here, you can do whatever you wish to do to occupy your days. I'm sure you have lots of bananas and pancakes to munch on and I know you're playing with your ball. Well, I will go about my day thinking of you, send me some kisses sweet girl. xo xo, momma

Dear Lord,Please open your gates and call St. Francis to come and escort this beloved companion across the Rainbow Bridge.

Grant me the strength not to dwell on my loss. Help me to remember the details of her life with the love she has shown me. And grant me the courage to honor her by sharing those memories with others.Let her remember me as well and let her know that I will always love her. And when it's my time to pass over into your paradise, please allow her to accompany those who will bring me home.Thank you Lord, for the gift of her companionship and for the time we've had together. And thank you, Lord, for granting me the strength to give her to you now.

08/20/10 Hello sweet girl, it's thundering here. The thunder used to frighten you, I would hold you close in my arms until it stopped. I miss you so very much Molly, the loneliness in my life is so strong and even though I know you are happy and no longer in pain I am deeply saddened for myself having to face each day without you. I know each day gone is one day closer to the day I see you again. Run and play sweet girl and know how very much I love and miss you. xoxo, momma

08/25/10 Hello sweet girl, it's been 7 months now since you left us. I held you in my arms as you bravely and peacefully crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge. The tears flowed then and they still flow today, my sadness has no bounds. You were the best of the best Molly, nothing or no one will ever take your place in my heart. Love & miss you so very much sweet girl. Till I see you again my angel. xoxo, momma

09/01/10 Good morning sweet girl, you're not here to give me birthday kisses this morning, so many years you would greet me with kisses you some how knew it was my birthday, but not today, all I have now are memories. Send me some kisses, I need them especially today. I love and miss you so very much Molly. Till I see you again, xoxo momma

09/10/10 Hello sweet girl, how very much I miss you. The tears flow so easily, it hurts so much to think of you and not be able to hold you or hear your bark, or your cute little growl. I know you are so very happy there and you no longer have any pain, that gives me great comfort. Each day that closes is one day closer to seeing you again, watch for me sweet girl. Run and play with your friends now. love you, momma

09/17/10 Hello sweet girl, how I miss you, the tears still flow so freely and I know they always will. Have you seen "Mac", I read his memorial page here, my heart just breaks to think of what he endured on earth. Give him a nose nuzzle for me and tell him the monster responsible is in jail and so many people are fighting to get laws passed and doing what ever they can so no creature ever suffers again. Run and play with Mac sweet girl. Till I see you again xoxo, momma

09/21/10 Hello sweet girl, the sun is shining so bright here, it makes me think of how beautiful it is at the bridge for you and all of your friends. Sunday September 12, was National Pet Memorial Day. They had a candlelight vigil with prayers, music and poetry. They read the names of many beloved pets who have crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge. You were one of those honored and remembered. I was not able to attend as it was in Kentucky, but I received the program in the mail yesterday so I could see your name listed there. I love and miss you so very much sweet girl. Till I see you again, run and play. xoxo, momma

09/28/10 Hello sweet girl, I wonder what you are doing today. I imagine you've been chasing the ball with your friends and napping under a big shady tree. How I wish I could see you, but I know that time will come. I'll be able to hold you close and cover your precious face with endless kisses, please remember how very much I love and miss you. Run and play now sweet girl. xoxo, momma

10/01/10 Hello sweet girl, been thinking of you today as usual. Eli was playing by the couch last night and as I picked him up I saw your little red & gray rubber cat chew toy that you always hid back there. I left it there after you left, just couldn't bring myself to put it with the rest of your things. You used to hide things in my closet too, how I miss you. It's been over 8 months since you left for the bridge. I know each day I'm closer to seeing you again. love you my angel, momma

10/08/10 Hello sweet girl, how are you today? I bet you are having fun playing with your friends. You blessed my life so very much Molly. God let me have almost 14 years with you, I am so grateful for that. What a wonderful loving devoted friend you were. I love and miss you so very much. I send my love to you and long for the day I see you again sweet girl. xoxo, momma

10/17/10 Hello sweet girl, I miss you so very much. Jackie decorated the outside for Halloween and they bought Eli 5 pumpkins, he's getting so big now Molly. Remember how you used to bark at the trick or treaters when you were a young pup, as you got older you didn't really care that they were on your porch. Everyday is a heartache for me without you here. I got a job a few weeks ago, I hope I'll be able to make some good friends there. I need to have friends around and there are only a few in the neighborhood. I hope you know how much I love and miss you. Take care my sweet girl, xoxo momma

10/21/10 Hello sweet girl, I am relaxing after getting home from work thinking about you. I got the other painting Julie did of you for Jt. It's so beautiful, just like you. Justin will be so pleased with it. Clancy (Jimmy's golden) will coming to the bridge sometime today. He has cancer in his stomach and a tumor on his spine. He can't stand up anymore but I know once he gets to the bridge his youth will return and he'll be healthy and happy just like you and the rest of the animal angels there. Watch for him Molly, he may be scared at first. Escort him over into the peaceful meadow and introduce him to everyone. Show him how to send his love down to Jimmy. Well I'm tired so I guess I'll close for now. Love and miss you so very much sweet girl, xoxo, momma

10/25/10 Hello sweet girl, 9 months ago today you left us for the bridge. What a sad day that was for all of us, I miss you so very much. I keep thinking about how happy and healthy you are now and that gives me comfort. I long to hold you and hear your cute little under your breath growl. Did you find Clancy? It's a beautiful sunny day here, I know it's like that everyday for you now. Run and play now sweet girl. I love and miss you so very much. xoxo, momma

10/29/10 Hello sweet girl, how are you today? I miss you so very much, it's so empty here without you. I was just remembering how you used to hid your toys and your treats. I remember the time I gave you a few pieces of an apple, I found them the next day behind the silk tree in my bedroom. You were such a funny little girl. I just found out Patty & Monte had to say good bye to their German Sheperd Heidi last Friday, they are bringing her ashes home today to rest in the circle garden in the yard she loved and never wandered from. Have you seen her Molly, look for her if you haven't. Teach her how to send her love down to Patty & Monte and their children so they can feel her near. I'm sure she would love to play tag with you and the rest of your friends. Well sweet girl, I guess I will close for now. I love and miss you so very much, till I see you again, xoxo, momma

11/06/10 Hello my sweet girl, I miss you so very much. I don't feel well today, have a cold. I know you are wonderful and so very happy playing with your angel friends, I wish I could just get a glimpse of your home there, but I imagine it is the most beautiful place. I hope you know how very much I love and miss you, and how much I regret the days I was too tired to take you for a walk or to get on the floor and play with you. Maggie is doing well, when I hold her I am holding you as well sweet girl. Run and play now, till I see you again. xoxo, momma

11/15/10 Hello sweet girl, thinking of you as usual. It's a beautiful sunny day here, like it is for you everyday at the bridge. Jackie put the Christmas tree up today, it will be a sad Christmas with you gone. Pam is getting a Rotty named "Izzy", I'm sure Darby Lynn will be happy that one more dog has a great home thanks to her mommy. It will help ease Pam's pain I'm sure. I miss you so very much Molly, run and play now sweet girl. xoxo, momma

11/28/10 Hello sweet girl, it's very early in the morning, can't sleep and I've been thinking about you. It seems the pain will never go away, I miss you so very much. I know each day is one day closer to seeing you again. I pray you enjoyed your life with us, I hope you never felt neglected or sad when we were not at home. Thank you for coming to me in my dream the other night. I was so happy, it made my smile because I knew you were communicating with me. You know how much I miss you and you came to me, thank you sweet girl. You will always be my sweet girl. Run and play now, till I see you again, xoxo, momma

12/05/10 Hello sweet girl, how are you today? Christmas is getting closer, the trees and lights are up, and some of the presents are under the tree. I am so sad because you are not here. I keep reminding myself of your beautiful home at the bridge and it makes me smile because I know everything is perfect there for you now. I will miss you always until the day I see you again. What a "joyous day" that will be. love and misses you so very much my sweet girl, xoxo, momma

12/07/10 Hello sweet girl, wondering what you are doing right now. It's cold here, I feel sorry for all of the animals that are on the streets with no place to go and no one to love them. I miss you so very much Molly, but I know you are happy at the bridge with your fur angel friends. I wonder when I will see you again, I wish I could hold you in y arms again. I held your ashes close to my heart yesterday that gave me some comfort for I felt you could feel me holding you. I'm gonna lay down on the couch because I have a sore throat and am tired. Love and miss you so very much sweet girl. Send me your special nose nuzzle. xoxo, momma

12/11/10 Hello sweet girl, wondering what you are doing now, maybe taking a nap under a beautiful shade tree or chasing the ball through the meadow with your friends? I wish I could see you, I can imagine in my mind you running and jumping with the ball. Oh Molly, I miss you so very much. People say time heals all wounds but that's not true, I will miss you always till I see you again. love you sweet girl. xoxo, momma

2/23/11 Willow got hit by a car this morning sweet girl. She is in critical condition, we don't know if she is going to make it. I feel so bad for her and for Jackie. We are all praying for her. I miss you so very much Molly. Love you forever, momma xoxo

2/24/11 Willow made it through the night and had surgery on her leg this afternoon. They had to put a rod and screws because her hip was completely shattered. I think Jackie is going to bring Willow her to live because she doesn't trust her mother to watch her. She got hit by the car because Vera didn't have her on a leash, she saw two other dogs across the street and she ran to them and got hit by a Hummer. I know you would want me to help her all I can, so I welcome Willow in honor and memory of you sweet girl. love you and miss you so very much. xxxoxo, momma

04/23/11 Hello my sweet girl, I'm starting to feel a little better now, wish I could get off of the blood thinners. I miss you so very much, my heart aches for you every day.

Tomorrow is Easter I know you and your angel friends will have special Easter treats waiting for you from the Easter Bunny. Love and miss you so very much. xoxo momma

06/09/12 Hello my sweet girl. I'm sorry for not writing for so long, I am very sick and now I have a concussion and a broken leg. Grampa knows how very sad I am without you and said the other day that he would get another little schnauzer for me to ease my heartache, I told him I could never get another, although you would be happy a new puppy has a loving home, I am not ready. Have you seen Miss Kitty, Cinnamon and Don's cat. She's a beautiful little lady and had to go through so much agony with her kidney.

09/15/12 Hello my sweet girl, my heart is so heavy, I miss you so very much. It never gets any easier but I do know that each day brings me closer to being with you again. Have you see "Annie" she's there with you now, I heard about her on Facebook, she had such a terrible life and finally found someone to love and care for her, but the pain in her body was to great for her to bear and she went to the Bridge one week later in the arms of her new momma, just like you did, in my arms. I know your days are filled with playing and napping and I am so happy for you. I miss and love you so very much it still makes me cry for you. xoxo, momma

You cannot be replaced, never. Let me let you go to you Heavenly slumber because it is very late, I love you my sweet Molly and I hold tight to every moment God let you spend with me.
